14  R.  A.  O.  A.  OVERCHARGE  CLAIM  RULES 

in  the  event  the  carrier  assessing  such  charges  will  not  vol- 
untarily waive  the  same. 

RULES 

1.     Presentation    of    Claims.     Carriers    should    require 
claimants   to   present  overcharge   claims   on   the    standard 
form  approved   by   the  Interstate   Commerce   Commission 
(R.  A.  O.  A.  Standard  Form  No.  300)  to  either  initial  or 
destination  carrier,   in   accordance   with   established   prac- 
tices, for  investigation  and  settlement.    When  claims  are 
presented    to    intermediate    carriers    they  shall  be  sent  to 
destination    carriers    for    settlement   and    claimant    so    in- 
formed, except  claims  in  connection  with  transit  arrange- 
ments,  which  shall  be  handled   by   the   carriers   granting 
such  privileges.    The  initial  or  destination  carrier  to  which 
a  claim  is  presented  or  the  destination  carrier  to  which  a 
claim  is  transmitted  by  an  intermediate  carrier  or  the  car- 
rier giving  transit  privilege  to  which  a  claim  is  presented 
or  transmitted  by  other  carriers  shall  investigate  and  settle 
in  accordance  with  these  rules. 

Provided,  however,  if  a  claim  for  demurrage  or  miscel- 
laneous charges  is  presented  by  the  claimant  to  an  inter- 
mediate carrier  by  which  the  charges  were  assessed,  such 
intermediate  carrier  shall  make  investigation  and  settle- 
ment. 

2.  When    Documents    Missing.     The    absence    of    the 
documents  required  by  the  standard  form  for  presentation 
of  overcharge  claims,  shall  be  explained  on  a  memorandum 
to  be  attached  to  the  papers  pertaining  to  the  claim  under 
consideration;  and,  further,  when  the  original  paid  freight 
bill  or  bill  of  lading  if  required,  does  not  accompany  afore- 
said papers  the  carrier  investigating  and  paying  the  claim 
shall  indemnify  other  carriers  against  loss  due  to  payment 
of  duplicate  claim  supported  by  such  original  documents. 

ARRANGEMENT  OF  CLAIM  PAPERS 

3.  Wrappers.     Carrier    against    which    claim    is    made 
shall  place  its  claim  back  on  papers,  which  shall  not  be  de- 


R.  A.  0.  A.  OVERCHARGE  CLAIM  RULES  15 

tached  nor  covered  with  other  claim  backs  or  papers,  nor 
shall  any  writing  or  stamp  thereon  of  said  carrier  be  in- 
terfered with,  in  any  way,  by  any  other  carrier. 

4.  Order  of  Papers.     All   investigation   shall   read   up- 
ward from  claim  back  in  order  of  date: 

(a)  No  notation  shall  be  made  on  back  ,of  papers ; 

(b)  No  notation  or  underlining  of  words  shall  be 
made  by  one  carrier  on  another  carrier's  papers ; 

(c)  Papers  shall  be  fastened  together  by  means  of 
a  paper  fastener  passing  through  entire  file  at  upper 
left  corner ;  , 

(d)  No  paper  shall  be  mutilated  or  taken  off.    If 
necessary  for  neatness,  papers  shall  be  folded  in. 

5.  Carrier   at    Fault    May    Pay    Direct.     Carrier    with 
which  overcharge  is  located,  but  to  which  claim  is  not  pre- 
sented by  claimant,  may  pay  claimant  direct,  so  notifying 
carrier  to  which  claimant  presented  claim. 

6.  Unauthorized   Rate.     Claim   for  alleged   overcharge 
when  supported  by  bill  of  lading  or  shipping  receipt  nam- 
ing a  rate  which  is  not  a  lawfully  published  tariff  rate, 
shall  be  referred  to  the  carrier  whose  agent  made  such  un- 
authorized contract. 

7.  Overcharge  Caused  by  Erroneous  Rate.     Claim  for 
overcharge  due  to  error  in  rate  shall,  when  supported  by 
the  necessary  evidence  and  by  specific  reference  to  pub- 
lished tariff  lawfully  applicable  and  in  effect  at  the  time 
of  shipment,  be  investigated  and  promptly  settled. 

8.  Overcharge    in    Weight.     Claim    for    overcharge    in 
weight  when  supported  by  necessary  evidence  shall  be  in- 
vestigated and  settled  on  the  basis  of  actual  weight,  sub- 
ject,   however,    to    the    prescribed    minimum,    estimated 
weight,  or  any  other  condition  of  the  tariffs,  or  classifica- 
tion applicable.     In  case  of  dispute   regarding  weight  in 
connection  with  a  shipment  reweighed  at  destination  ac- 
cording to  the  rules  and  regulations  of  the  carriers  inter- 
ested, the  actual  weight,  ascertained  by  the  destination  car- 
rier, or  such  scale  or  railway  association  weight  as  may  be 
approved   by   the   destination   carrier,    shall   govern.     The 


16  R.  A.  O.  A.  OVERCHARGE  CLAIM  RULES 

purpose  of  this  rule  is  to  provide  a  basis  whereby  the  desti- 
nation weights  properly  ascertained  will  be  given  the  con- 
sideration warranted  by  experience  and  by  the  circum- 
stances in  each  case,  and  to  provide  a  practical  method  of 
facilitating  the  adjustment  of  claims  for  overcharge  in 
weight  where  there  is  a  dispute  or  some  doubt  as  to  which 
of  two  or  more  weights  is  the  correct  weight.  This  rule 
will  apply  on  all  unsettled  claims. 

9.  Overcharge    Caused    by    Erroneous     Classification. 
Claim  for  overcharge  due  to  error  in  classification  shall  be 
investigated  and  settled  when  supported  by  bill  of  lading 
or  shipping  receipt,  specific  reference  to  the  tariff  or  classi- 
fication lawfully  applicable,  original  or  a  certified  copy  of 
invoice  or  delivering  agent's  certificate  in  lieu  thereof,  and 
by  other  necessary  evidence. 

10.  Evidence  of  Collection.     The  carrier  investigating 
and  settling  a  claim  on  account  of  overcharge,  may  accept, 
as   evidence   of   the   amount   collected,    the   original   paid 
freight  bill,  or  original  bill  of  lading  showing  amount  of 
prepayment  and  bearing  receipt  for  payment. 

11.  Papers  to  Bear  Evidence  of  Payment.     When  pay- 
ment of  claim  is  made  before  interline  investigation,  evi- 
dence of  such  payment  shall  be  clearly  shown  on  bill  of 
lading^  or  shipping  receipt,  paid  freight  bill,  bill  of  claimant, 
or  invoice  in  the  claim  papers. 

12.  Direct     Investigation.     The     investigating     carrier 
shall  communicate  directly  with  agents  or  other  proper  rep- 
resentatives of  interested  carriers  whenever  practicable  and 
whenever  railway  mail  service  cannot  be  used,  return  post- 
age shall  be  enclosed.     Inquiries  should  be  addressed  to 
accounting  officer  in  charge  of  claims  of  the  interested  car- 
riers after  failure  to  obtain  information  from  the  agents  or 
other  proper  representatives  or  when  necessary  from  the 
nature  of  the  inquiry.     When  the  agent  or  other  proper 
representative  of  another  carrier  fails  to  furnish  the  specific 
information  requested  or  to  explain  why  he  cannot  do  so 
within  20  days  from  date  of  inquiry,  copy  of  inquiry  with 
request  for  reply,  shall  be  sent  by  express,  registered  mail 


R.  A.  O.  A.  OVERCHARGE  CLAIM  RULES  17 

or  messenger,  to  the  proper  accounting  officer  of  the  delin- 
quent carrier.  When  answer  is  not  received  within  30 
days  to  such  request,  or  to  a  direct  inquiry  to  the  proper 
accounting  officer  regarding  a  paid  claim,  the  carrier  in- 
vestigating and  settling  the  claim  may  charge  full  amount 
of  claim  to  the  delinquent  carrier,  or  if  there  are  two  or 
more  delinquent  carriers,  then  to  the  delinquent  carrier 
nearest  the  investigating  and  settling  carrier  in  direction 
of  destination  and  shall  forward  all  papers  relating  to  the 
claims  to  such  delinquent  carrier  who  shall  take  the  place 
of  settling  carrier  and  make  further  investigation  and  dis- 
tribution of  the  amount  of  the  claim. 

13.  Statement  of  Overcharge.     The  carrier  investigat- 
ing and  settling  an  overcharge  claim  shall  attach  to  the 
claim  papers  a  statement  showing  how  the  overcharge  is 
arrived  at,  with  full  reference  to  the  I.  C.  C.  tariffs  and  the 
amount  due  from  each  carrier  interested.     The  rates  and 
divisions  and  basis  for  claim  shall  be  verified  as  far  as  prac- 
ticable before  being  sent  by  the  carrier  so  investigating  and 
settling  to  the  other  interested  carriers. 

14.  Express   Charges.     Any   carrier   forwarding  papers 
by  express  shall  prepay  express  charges. 

15.  Relief  of  Agent's  Account.     When  an  agent  collects 
from  consignee  the  correct  amount  of  freight  and  charges, 
and  the  same  is  less  than  the  amount  debited  to  his  sta- 
tion account,  and  adjustment  cannot  be  effected  through 
interline  correction  account,  he  shall  file  claim  for  relief, 
which  shall  be  investigated  and  apportioned  between  in- 
terested carriers;  see  Rules  19  and  28. 

ACKNOWLEDGMENT  OF  CLAIM  PAPERS  WHEN 
PASSED  BETWEEN  CARRIERS 

16.  Acknowledging  Receipt  of  Claims.     When  a  claim, 
except  arbitrary  debit  under  Rule  38,  is  received  the  first 
time  from  another  carrier,  it  shall  at  once  be  acknowledged 
to  carrier  from  which  received,  and  such  acknowledgment 
shall  quote  sending  and  receiving  carrier's  claim  numbers. 


18  R.  A.  O.  A.  OVERCHARGE  CLAIM  RULES 

Carriers  shall  quote  each  other's  claim  numbers  in  all  claim 
correspondence,  mail  or  telegraph. 

APPORTIONMENT  OF  CLAIMS  FOR 
OVERCHARGE 

17.  Overcharge    in    Rate,    Weight,    or    Classification. 
Claim  for  overcharge  on  account  of  error  in  rate,  error  in 
weight  or  error  in   classification,  when  investigated   and 
settled  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  contained  in  Rules 
6,  7,  8  and  9,  shall  be  charged  to  the  carrier  at  fault.     If 
more  than  one  carrier  is  involved,  the  amount  of  the  claim 
shall  be  apportioned  on  the  basis  of  the  agreed  divisions, 
and  all  interested  carriers  shall  be  obligated  to  pay  their 
proportions  of  the  amount  paid  in  settlement  of  the  claim. 

Interest  On  Overcharge  Claims.  Whenever  interest  is 
paid  in  settlement  of  a  claim  for  overcharge  on  an  inter- 
line shipment,  such  interest  shall  be  apportioned  on  the 
same  basis  as  the  overcharge. 

18.  Overcharge     Caused    by     Misrouting.     Claim     for 
overcharge  resulting  from  improper  routing  due  to  error 
of  an  agent  or  other  employee,  shall  be  borne  by  the  car- 
rier employing  the  person  at  fault.     The  minimum  debit 
Rule  42  shall  not  apply  in  such  cases.     This  rule  will  ap- 
ply on  all  unsettled  claims.     See  I.  C.  C.  Conference  Rul- 
ings Nos.   214,  286   and   474,  or    subsequent   amendments 
thereto. 

19.  Overcharge    Caused    by    Way  billing    Freight    to 
Erroneous  Destination,  Unloading  Short  of,  or  Carrying 
Beyond  Correct  Destination  or  Stop-off  Point.     Claim  for 
overcharge,  resulting  from  error  or  oversight  of  an  agent 
or  employee,  by  which  the  shipment  is  billed  to  an  erron- 
eous destination,  or  is  unloaded  short  of  destination,  or  is 
carried  beyond  correct  destination  or  stop-off  point,  shall 
be  borne  by  the   carrier  whose   agent   or   employe   com- 
mitted the  error,  except  that  when  contributory  negligence 
by  other  carrier  or  carriers  is  shown,  the  claim  shall  be  di- 
vided equally  between  the  carriers  at  fault.     The  carrier 


R.  A.  O.  A.  OVERCHARGE  CLAIM  RULES  19 

or  carriers  performing  the  service  shall  accept  proportion 
of  the  through  or  combination  rate  from  point  of  origin  to 
erroneous  destination,  based  on  established  divisions,  or, 
in  the  absence  of  same,  revenue  shall  be  divided  on  basis 
of  mileage.  For  the  movement  from  the  erroneous  to  the 
correct  destination,  charges  shall  be  assessed  on  the  local, 
through,  or  combination  rates,  as  per  lawfully  published 
tariffs.  Carrier  or  carriers  receiving  revenue  for  two  hauls 
on  such  shipments,  shall  refund  revenue  (based  on  estab- 
lished divisions,  or  mileage  basis,  in  absence  of  same)  on 
the  return  haul  to  the  point  at  which  shipment  is  placed  in 
its  proper  route  to  correct  destination,  regardless  of  the 
route  which  carrier  may  select  for  the  return  movement. 
This  rule  will  apply  on  all  unsettled  claims.  See  I.  C.  C. 
Conference  Ruling  217,  or  subsequent  amendments  thereto. 

20.  Question    of    Veracity.     When    question    affecting 
settlement  of  an  overcharge  claim  between  two  or  more 
carriers  becomes  one  of  veracity  between  employees  of  car- 
riers, the  claim,  or  such  portion  thereof  as  depends  upon 
the  question  in  dispute,  shall  be  divided  equally  between 
such  carriers.     Changes  made  in  car  numbers,  car  initials 
or  routing  on  telephone  instructions  will  not  be  accepted 
as  evidence  in  the  settlement  of  dispute  involving  veracity 
unless  confirmed  in  writing. 

21.  Terminal  Charges.     Terminal  charges  shall  not  be 
included  in  the  amount  of  revenue  used  as  a  basis  for  ap- 
portionment of  an  overcharge  claim. 

22.  Disputed  Divisions.     When  a  legal  rate  is  protected 
by  a  carrier  and  it  is  unable  to  reclaim  from  its  connec- 
tions, because  of  disputed  divisions  the  paying  carrier  shall 
be  relieved  of  the  burden  of  adjusting  the  difference  be- 
tween the  carriers  in  interest  to  the  extent  and  effect  as 
follows : 

(a)  When  the  rate  protected  is  a  through  rate,  the 
carrier  that  issued  the  bill  of  lading  shall  accept  debit 
from  the  paying  carrier  for  the  amount  of  the  over- 
charge which  the  latter  is  unable  to  reclaim  on  account 
of  the  dispute  as  to  the  divisions,  and  shall  assume  the 


20  R.  A.  O.  A.  OVERCHARGE  CLAIM  RULES 

responsibility  of  adjusting  the  difference  between  the 
carriers  in  interest. 

(b)  When  the  rate  protected  is  constructed  by 
combining  two  or  more  rates,  one  or  more  of  them  be- 
ing joint  rates,  the  first  carrier  (in  the  direction  from 
origin  to  destination)  which  is  party  to  a  joint  rate 
the  divisions  of  which  are  in  dispute,  shall  accept  debit 
from  the  paying  carrier  for  the  amount  of  the  over- 
charge which  the  latter  is  unable  to  reclaim  because 
of  dispute  as  to  the  divisions  of  that  rate  and  shall  as- 
sume the  responsibility  of  adjusting  the  difference  be- 
tween carriers  in  interest.  This  rule  will  apply  on  all 
unsettled  claims. 

.  23.  Erroneous  Rate  Quotation.  When  a  carrier  in  pro- 
cess of  the  investigation  of  an  overcharge  claim  requests 
another  carrier  to  quote  a  rate  between  local  points  on  its 
line,  and  pays  the  claim  on  basis  of  that  quotation,  the  car- 
rier making  the  quotation  must  honor  the  bill  of  the  pay- 
ing carrier  on  the  basis  quoted,  and  in  case  it  is  found  that 
the  quotation  was  erroneous,  must  assume  the  expense  of 
collecting  back  the  amount  necessary  to  place  its  charges 
on  a  legal  tariff  basis.  This  rule  will  apply  on  all  unsettled 
claims. 

INVESTIGATION   AND   APPORTIONMENT   OF 

CLAIMS  FOR  OVERCHARGE  IN  WEIGHT 

ON  COAL  AND  COKE 

24.  Located  Overcharge  on  Coal  or  Coke.  Claims  for 
overcharge  on  coal  or  coke,  where  such  overcharge  is  lo- 
cated with  a  particular  carrier  or  carriers,  shall  be  charged 
to  the  carrier  or  carriers  upon  which  the  overcharge  is 
located. 

(A)  Unlocated  Overcharge  on  Coal  or  Coke. 
Claims  for  ascertained  overcharge  on  coal  or  coke, 
which  overcharge  is  not  located,  shall  be  prorated  on 
revenue,  on  basis  of  record  weights  to  point  where 
overcharge  is  discovered  subject  to  paragraph  B. 


R.  A.  O.  A.  OVERCHARGE  CLAIM  RULES  21 

(B)  Variation     of     Scale    Weights.     Claims    pre- 
sented for  overcharge  on  coal  or  coke  where  the  only 
evidence  of  such  overcharge  is  the  variation  in  scale 
weights,  shall  be  subjected  to   the  following  investi- 
gation : 

First : 

An  ascertainment  of  the  conditions  and  practices  at 
each  scale  used  as  follows : 

(1)  Type  of  scale  and  capacity. 

(2)  Character  of  installation. 

(3)  Standard  of  maintenance. 

(4)  Frequency  of  testing. 

(5)  Methods  of  weighing. 

(6)  Was  scale  on  which  weight  in  question   was 
obtained  maintained,  tested,  and  operated  in  accord- 
ance with  the  track  scale  specifications  approved  by 
the  American  Railroad  Association? 

(7)  Scale  conditions  as  outlined  in  paragraph  first. 
1  to  6. 

(8)  Type  of  car,  i.  e.,  box,  gondola,  solid  bottom, 
drop  bottom,  or  steel  hopper. 

(9)  Were  weights  affected,  either  immediately  be- 
fore or  immediately  after  weighing,  by  rain  or  snow? 

(10)  Was  car  reconsigned  en  route? 

(11)  Obtain  official  record  of  the  last  four  tests  of 
scale  immediately  preceding  movement  of  shipment, 
including  amount  each  section  of  scale  was  inaccurate 
in  each  test,  and  the  time  within  which  such  four  tests 
were  made. 

(12)  Did  the  reweighing  include  a  third  weighing 
as  required  by  American  Railroad  Association  Rules? 

(C)  Scale    Shown    by    Investigation    to    be    Most 
Accurate  Must  be  Given  Preference.     In  event  scale 
at  destination  or  intermediate  point  is  shown  by  this 
investigation  to  have  produced  the  more  nearly  cor- 
rect weight,  claims  for  overcharge  shall  be  prorated 
on  revenue  among  carriers  participating  in  the  over- 
charge, subject  to  tolerances,  evaporation  allowances, 


22  R.  A.  O.  A.  OVERCHARGE  CLAIM  RULES 

and  minimum  weights,  as  provided  in  governing  tariffs. 
(D)  In  the  event  scale  at  initial  point  is  shown  by 
this  investigation  to  have  produced  the  more  nearly 
correct  weight,  the  claim  shall  not  be  prorated,  except 
by  authority  of  the  initial  carrier. 

25.  Disputed  Claims  to  be  Submitted  to   Counsel.     If 
any  carrier  should  refuse  to  participate  in  the  payment  of 
such    claims   on    the    basis    of    revenue    and    record    scale 
weights,  the  same  shall  be  submitted  by  the  investigating 
carrier  to  its  counsel,  and  if  such  counsel  should  rule  that 
suit  if  instituted  thereon  cannot  be  successfully  defended, 
the  papers  shall  be  returned  to  the  carrier  or  carriers  that 
have  refused  to  participate  in  the  payment  thereof,  and  in 
the  event  it  or  they  shall  still  refuse  to  participate  in  the 
payment  of  such  claim,  and  at  the  same  time  be  unwilling 
to  defend  suit,  if  brought,  such  suit  shall  be  defended  by 
the  carrier  against  which  suit  is  brought,  and  if  judgment 
is  secured   the  carrier  or   carriers   refusing  to   participate 
shall  be  charged  not  only  with  their  prorata  portion  of  the 
original  claim,  but  in  addition  thereto  with  court  costs  and 
counsel  fees,  and  also  with  any  statutory  penalty  that  may 
be  assessed  in  said  suit,  provided  it  appears  that  the  re- 
fusal of  such  carrier  or  carriers  to  participate  in  such  claim 
resulted  in  said  penalty  being  imposed.     This  rule  will  ap- 
ply regardless  of  the  amount  of  claims,  subject,  however, 
to  minimum  debit  rule  No.  42. 

26.  Claim  Papers  to  be  Submitted  to  All  Interested  Car- 
riers  Before   Payment   Not    Subject   to   Arbitrary    Debit. 
Claims  for  overcharge  due  to  error  in  weight  on  coal  or 
coke  will  not  be  subject  to  arbitrary  debits,  but  shall,  be- 
fore payment,  be  presented  to  all  carriers  participating  in 
the  haul. 

COLLECTION  OF  GUARANTEED  CHARGES 

27.  Guaranteed   Charges.     When   charges   are   guaran- 
teed,  guaranteeing   carrier  shall   be   responsible   for    such 
charges  when  the  destination  carrier,  having  used  reason- 
able precautions  in  effecting  delivery,  is  unable  to  collect; 


R.  A.  O.  A.  OVERCHARGE  CLAIM  RULES  23 

provided,  that  request  of  protection  of  guarantee  shall  be 
made  within  sixty  days  after  arrival  of  freight  through 
connections  or  direct.  In  the  case  of  perishable  freight, 
if  destination  carrier  cannot  deliver  and  collect  charges, 
guaranteeing  carrier  shall  at  once  be  asked  direct  or 
through  waybilling  station  for  disposition  of  freight,  which 
shall  be  held,  when  practicable,  for  such  advice.  When 
freight  is  refused  for  loss  or  damage  located,  with  carrier, 
guarantee  shall  be  void.  Provisions  with  respect  to  mini- 
mum debits  (Rule  42)  shall  not  apply  to  this  rule. 

DISPOSITION    OF    DEFICITS   ARISING   FROM 
UNCOLLECTIBLE  FREIGHT  CHARGES 

28.     Sale  of  Unclaimed  or  Refused  Freight  for  Charges. 

Uncollectible  deficits  in  charges  against  freight  which  is 
unclaimed  or  refused  when  the  result  of  negligence  of  one 
or  more  carriers  in  the  line  shall  be  charged  to  the  carrier 
or  carriers  at  fault  on  basis  of  mileage  unless  a  water  car- 
rier is  involved,  in  which  event  it  shall  prorate  between 
carriers  at  fault  on  basis  of  revenue.  When  not  the  result 
of  negligence  of  the  carriers,  the  deficit  shall  be  prorated 
on  revenue  by  all  carriers  interested.  Terminal  transpor- 
tation charges,  demurrage,  storage  and  transportation  arbi- 
traries  shall  be  included  in  determining  revenue  of  car- 
riers; provided,  however,  that  freight  vvhich  accumulates 
in  warehouses  and  is  periodically  sold  shall  be  disposed  of 
without  reference  to  other  carriers  and  any  loss  in  charges 
on  such  freight  shall  be  borne  by  the  carrier  selling. 

The  provisions  of  this  rule  shall  also  apply  when  the 
destination  carrier  takes  the  unclaimed  or  refused  freight 
for  company's  use.  The  distribution  statement  of  claim 
covering  any  uncollectible  amount  prorated  under  this  rule 
must  bear  affirmative  declaration  of  carrier  making  distri- 
bution that  the  amount  is  uncollectible  by  reason  of  condi- 
tions set  forth  in  Rule  D-15. 

29.  Charges  on  Freight  Sent  Elsewhere  for  Sale,  If 
necessary  to  forward  carload  freight  to  another  point  to 
be  sold,  the  carrier  performing  such  service  is  entitled  to 


24  R.  A.  O.  A.  OVERCHARGE  CLAIM  RULES 

the  tariff  rate  and  charges  lawfully  applicable  thereto ; 
and  in  determining  the  total  uncollectible  deficit  to  be  pro- 
rated; the  carrier  is  entitled  to  include  the  amount  so 
charged. 

30.  Showing    Miscellaneous    Advances    on    Waybills. 
Where   there  are  charges  such   as   demurrage,   switching, 
duty,  and  entry  fees,  or  any  other  charges  that  are  in  addi- 
tion to  the  rate,  it  is  the  duty  of  each  carrier  to  show  such 
charges  in  detail  and  separately  from  the  regular  revenue, 
and  the  agent's  failure  to  do  so  will  make  his  company  re- 
sponsible for  the  non-collection  of  same  when  uncollectible 
within  the  rulings  of  the  Interstate   Commerce   Commis- 
sion (See  Ruling  M-7). 

31.  Responsibility    for    Collection    of    Charges.     While 
accepting  the'  principle   that  the  destination   carrier   shall 
assume  the  duty  of  collecting  all  tariff  charges,  this  will 
not  relieve  the  initial  or  intermediate  carriers  from  respon- 
sibility for  their  errors  that  are  impossible  of  detection  by 
the  destination  carrier.     While  recognizing  the  difficulty 
of  enumerating  all  of  the  various  classes  of  undercharges, 
the  following  are  some  of  the  losses  which  should  not  be 
borne  by  the  destination  carrier : 

(a)  Miscellaneous   charges   for   switching,    demur- 
rage, storage,  icing  or  feeding,   detention   or  stop-off 
charges,  etc.,  omitted  from  billing  and  not  a  part  of 
or  included  in  the  through  rate. 

(b)  Undercharges  due  to  error  in  rates  published 
in  tariffs  to  which  destination  carrier  is  not  a  party. 

(c)  Undercharges   due   to   failure   to   collect   tariff 
charges    on    shipments    destined    to    prepaid    or    non- 
agency  stations. 

(d)  Undercharges  due  to  the  insertion  of  incorrect 
rates  in  export  bills  of  lading  issued  by  initial  or  in- 
termediate carrier. 

(e)  Charges  waybilled    as    prepaid,    subsequently 
changed  by  correction  to  collect. 

(f)  Demurrage  charges,  etc.,  accruing  at  point  of 
origin  and  not  noted  on  bills  of  lading. 


K.  A.  O.  A.  OVERCHARGE  CLAIM  RULES  25 

(g)  Undercharges  due  to  failure  of  weighing  car- 
rier to  state  correct  gross  carload  weight  on  waybills 
when  charges  are  collectible  on  track  scale  or  ship- 
pers' agreement  weights. 

32.  Destination   Carrier    to    Receive    Assistance    From 
Other   Carriers  in  Collecting  or   Refunding.     Destination 
carrier  shall  receive  all  possible  assistance  from  initial  or 
intermediate  carriers  in  its  efforts  to  make  collections  or 
refunds.* 

33.  Disposition  of  Amounts  Not  Chargeable  to  Desti- 
nation Carrier.     The  destination   carrier   shall,   in  the   in- 
terest of  all  concerned,  use  all  diligence  to  determine  and 
collect  the  correct  charges  and  shall  make  a  demand  in 
writing  on  the  consignee  or  consignor,  or  both,  if  neces- 
sary, for  charges  which  are  uncollected,  owing   to   error 
of  another   carrier  and   which  are  undiscoverable   by  the 
destination  carrier. 

After  two  unanswered  demands  in  writing  for  payment, 
or  after  a  direct  refusal  of  the  debtor  to  pay,  the  carrier 
in  error  shall  without  further  action  on  the  part  of  the 
destination  carrier,  accept  debit  for  the  uncollected  tariff 
charges  or  shall  authorize  the  destination  carrier  at  the 
expense  and  for  the  account  of  the  carrier  in  error,  to 
bring  suit  for  the  recovery  of  these  charges. 

Guaranteeing  Additional  Prepayment  of  Freight  at 
Junction  Points 

34.  Shipments  Destined  to  Agency  Stations  Requiring 
Prepayment.     When  freight  destined  to  an  agency  station 
upon  which  charges  should  be  fully  prepaid  or  guaranteed, 
in  accordance  with   tariff,   is   tendered   connecting  carrier 
and  it  develops  that  such  prepaid  charges  are  insufficient 
to  carry  shipment  to  destination,  the  carrier  tendering  shall 
authorize  its  junction  agent  to  guarantee  to  the  connect- 
ing carrier  a  sufficient  amount  to  carry  the  shipment  to 
destination.     Delivery  to  a  connection  of  such  a  shipment 
for  an  agency  station  constitutes  a  guarantee   to  the  re- 


26  R.  A.  O.  A.  OVERCHARGE  CLAIM  RULES 

ceiving  carrier  of  a  sufficient  amount  to  transport  the  ship- 
ment to  destination,  a  specific  guarantee  on  the  billing  not 
being  required  for  each  case.  The  destination  agent  shall 
exercise  due  diligence  and  employ  all  means  at  his  com- 
mand to  collect  amount  due  from  consignee;  but  if  unable 
to  do  so,  the  deficit  shall  be  adjusted  on  its  merits,  the  mini- 
mum debit  rule  No.  42  not  to  apply  in  such  cases.  The  re- 
ceiving carrier,  however,  should  not  return  such  shipments 
to  the  delivering  carrier  for  additional  prepayment. 

The  provisions  of  this  rule  shall  riot  apply  to  additional 
prepayment  covering  extra  weight  on  freight  resulting 
from  weighing  in  transit  and  found  to  exceed  the  weight 
as  originally  billed,  or  to  freight  inspected  resulting  in  in- 
creased rating  and  charges. 

35.  Shipments      Destined     to      Non-agency     Stations. 
When  a  shipment  destined  to  a  non-agency  station  is  billed 
collect  or  insufficiently  prepaid,  it  shall  be  accepted  from 
connecting  carrier  and  forwarded  to  destination.    The  des- 
tination carrier  shall  make  reasonable  effort  to  collect  the 
amount  due,  but  if  unsuccessful,  may  upon  its  statement 
that  it  is  unable  to  collect,  correct  the  waybill  to  read  fully 
"Prepaid"  if  the  shipment  is  waybilled  through  from  point 
of  origin  to  destination.     When  rebilled  enroute  the  final 
adjustment  shall  be  made  through  claim  channels,  the  mini- 
mum debit  Rule  No.  42  not  to  apply  in  such  cases.     In 
either   case   the   adjustment   made   shall   maintain   the   in- 
tegrity of  the  lawful  rate.    When  re-billed  en  route,  settle- 
ments under  this  rule  shall  be  made  under  Rule  $o.  38, 
all  papers  to  accompany  debit. 

FORWARDING  SHIPMENTS  BILLED  SHORT  OF 
DESTINATION 

36.  Shipments  Waybilled  Short  of  Destination.     When 
a  shipment  has  been  billed  in  error  to  a  point  short  of  the 
proper  destination,  such  shipment  shall  be  forwarded  and 
charges  collected  at  the  lawful  tariff  rate  from  point  of 
origin  to  correct  destination  applicable  via  the  route  ship- 
ment moved. 


R.  A.  O.  A.  OVERCHARGE  CLAIM  RULES  27 

FAILURE  TO  OBSERVE  INSTRUCTIONS  FOR 
DIVERSION 

37.  Failure  to  Accomplish  Diversion.    When  in  accord- 
ance with  the  conditions  of  the  tariffs  lawfully  applicable, 
a  carrier  is  requested  to  divert  a  shipment,  and,  through 
negligence  or  error  of  a  carrier  the  diversion  is  not  accom- 
plished, the  carrier  responsible  for  the  negligence  or  error 
shall  be 'wholly  responsible  for  any  lawful  overcharge  re- 
sulting, subject  to  Rule  19.    This  rule  will  apply  on  all  un- 
settled claims. 

INTERLINE  SETTLEMENT  AFTER 
INVESTIGATION  AND  PAYMENT 

38.  Distribution  Statements.     When    the    investigation 
in  connection  with  a  claim  is  complete  and  the  responsibil- 
ity therefor  is  located,  the  carrier  by  which  the  claim  has 
been  investigated  shall  apportion   the  amount  in  accord- 
ance with  the  foregoing  rules.     Such  carrier  shall  also  pre- 
pare and  forward  to  each  interested  carrier  a  distribution 
statement  for  each  claim,  showing  billing  reference  over 
all  interested  carriers,    claim    numbers    when  known,    the 
amount  charged  to  each,  the  route  over  which  shipment 
moved,  and  when  necessary  the  through  rate  and  divisions 
via  such  route  and  tariff  authority,  with  I.  C.  C.  numbers. 
Provided  that  no  carrier  shall  be  penalized  for  any  over- 
charge, unless  it  has  been  given  the  opportunity  to  de- 
velop the  fact  pertaining  thereto  prior   to   the  time  pre- 
scribed by  the  Interstate  Commerce  Commission  for  the 
destruction  of  records.     This  rule  will  apply  on  all  un- 
settled claims. 

39.  Disposition  of  Papers.     When  the  amount  of  any 
claim  is  divisible   between   carriers   and   does   not  exceed 
$20.00,  the  claim  papers  shall  be  retained  by  the  settling 
carrier,  except  claims  coming  under  Rule  50.     When  the 
total  amount  paid  is  not  proratable  or  is  more  than  $20.00, 
and   only   one   other   carrier  is   interested,   statement  and 
claim  papers  shall  be  sent  to  it,  but  if  two  or  more  other 


28  R.  A.  O.  A.  OVERCHARGE  CLAIM  RULES 

carriers  are  interested  original  statement  and  claim  papers 
shall  be  sent  to  the  carrier  most  distant,  and  a  copy  of  the 
statement  showing  disposition  of  claim  papers  to  each 
other  carrier  interested. 

Non-members.  When  paying  carrier  is  an  intermediate 
carrier,  claim  papers  shall  be  sent  to  last  interested  carrier 
in  the  direction  of  destination.  When  a  non-member  car- 
rier is  interested  in  any  unsettled  claim,  settling  carrier 
may  charge  out  to  members  their  proper  proportions  un- 
der the  rules,  retaining  papers  with  whick  to  negotiate 
with  the  non-member  as  to  settlement  of  its  proportion. 
Any  interested  carrier  shall  have  the  right  to  obtain  papers 
from  carrier  with  which  they  are  filed.  See  Rule  49. 

40.  Recharge  of  Disputed  Amounts.  /Abstracts  must  be 
accepted  as  rendered  when  accompanied  by  claim  papers 
or  distribution  statement.  Under  no  circumstances  may 
items  be  cut  out  of  abstracts  except  as  provided  in  this 
rule.  When  amount  charged  in  accordance  with  Rule  38 
is  for  any  valid  reason  unsatisfactory,  to  debited  carrier,  it 
may  be  recharged  to  paying  carrier  on  monthly  statement 
within  one  year  from  date  of  statement  in  which  charge  is 
included,  except  that  when  charge  is  made  under  Rule  12, 
the  delinquent  carrier  shall  not  have  the  privilege  of  re- 
charging without  authority.  No  recharge  shall  exceed  the 
original  amount  charged,  nor  shall  any  correction  be  re- 
quired for  less  than  One  Dollar  ($1.00). 

No  recharge  shall  be  made  except  over  personal  signa- 
ture of  the  claim  officer,  or  when  authority  for  other  signa- 
ture is  stamped  on  recharge  statement.  The  objecting  car- 
rier shall  notify  all  interested  carriers  and  shall  not  again 
be  charged  until  it  so  authorizes  or  claim  is  arbitrated. 
Nothing  in  this  rule  shall  make  it  obligatory  upon  any  car- 
rier to  accept  a  distribution  statement  covering  any  claim 
for  an  amount  over  One  Hundred  Dollars  ($100)  in  which 
investigation  does  not  clearly  show  that  such  carrier  is  in- 
terested, or  to  accept  a  draft  covering  such  distribution 
statement.  When  items  for  over  One  Hundred  Dollars 


R.  A.  O.  A.  OVERCHARGE  CLAIM  RULES  29 

($100)  are  eliminated  from  abstract,  notice  must  be  given 
immediately  by  telegram  or  letter. 

41.  Claims  Less  Than  $1.00.     Claims  for  less  than  one 
dollar  shall  not  be  consolidated  to  make  an  amount  over 
the  minimum  (one  dollar),  but  shall  be  paid  and  absorbed 
by  the  settling  carrier;  provided  shipment  moved  over  its 
lines,  but  agents  may  include  in  one  monthly  claim  for  re- 
lief any  number  of  shipments  originating  on  the  same  road 
and  traveling  via  the  same  route. 

42.  Minimum  Debits.     No  charge  shall  be  made  by  the 
carrier  settling  the  claim  against  another  carrier  when  the 
entire  proportion  beyond  the  settling  carrier  is  less  than 
$1.00,  except  as  provided  in  Rules  18  (overcharge  due  to 
misrouting    through    error    of    carrier),    27    (collection    of 
guaranteed  charges),  34  and  35  (adjustment  of  charges  on 
freight  insufficiently  prepaid). 

(a)  When   a   non-member   line  is   involved,   mini- 
mum debit  rule  shall  apply  between  member  lines. 

(b)  In  computing  minimum  a  fraction  of  one-half 
cent  or  over  shall  be  regarded  as  one  cent. 

(c)  When  authority  is  given  on  the  claim  papers, 
the  following  will  govern  as  to  the  minimum  (subject 
to  the  exceptions  stated  in  this  Rule),  paying  carrier 
being  considered  as  the  first  carrier. 

(d)  When   two   carriers   are   involved,   the   second 
carrier  shall  not  issue  authority  for  any  amount  less 
than  one  dollar. 

(e)  When  three  or  more  carriers  are  involved,  in- 
termediate  carrier   shall    issue   its   authority   for   any 
amount  less  than  one  dollar  when  the  entire  proportion 
of  succeeding  carrier  or  carriers  is  one  dollar  or  more. 

(f)  When  last  carrier's  proportion  is  less  than  one 
dollar,  next  preceding  intermediate  carrier  shall  issue 
authority  for  its  own  proportion  and  that  of  the  last 
carrier  if  the  two  aggregate  one  dollar  or  more. 

43.  Correction   Minimum.     No   correction   shall   be   re- 
quired in  a  bill  rendered  or  authority  issued  for  any  clerical 
error  less  than  one  dollar  ($1.00). 


30  R.  A.  0.  A.  OVERCHARGE  CLAIM  RULES 

44.  First  Carrier  Beyond  Gateway  or  Rate  Prorating 
Point  to  Give  Divisions  of  Revenue  for  Overcharge  Claims. 
When  an  overcharge  is  clearly  located  with  a  group  of  two 
or  more  connecting  carriers  beyond  a  common  gateway, 
crossing,  or  rate-breaking  point,  it  shall  be  the  duty  of  the 
first  carrier  beyond  the  gateway  to  furnish  the  paying  car- 
rier a  statement  which  will  clearly  set  forth  the  correct  di- 
visions to  be  applied  and  the  proportions  that  were  allowed 
the  interested  carriers  in  interline  settlement,  and  unless 
such  information  is  furnished  within  60  days,   the   entire 
amount  of  such  group  proportion  shall  be  charged  to  the 
said  first  carrier.    It  shall  also  be  the  duty  of  the  first  mem- 
ber carrier  beyond  the  gateway  or  rate-breaking  point  to 
furnish,  upon  request,  rates  and  divisions  with  I.  C.  C.  tariff 
authority  therefor,  to  or  from  the  rate-breaking  point  when 
tariffs  are  not  in  the  possession  of  the  road  against  which 
claim   is  presented,   such   request   to    show   junctions   via 
which  shipment  moved. 

(a)  Claims  for  relief  of  charges  on  freight  short  at 
junctions,  as  specifically  provided  for  in  Rule  50,  shall  be 
handled  in  accordance  with  that  rule. 

45.  Honoring    Authorities    Granted.     When    authority 
has  been  granted  on  the  strength  of  which  money  has  been 
paid  which  would  not  otherwise  have  been  paid,  such  au- 
thority shall  be  honored  and  no  repudiation  shall  be  al- 
lowed ;  but  when  authority  is  simply  a  clerical  error  and  no 
loss  has  resulted  therefrom,  it  shall  be  susceptible  of  cor- 
rection. 

46.  Insolvent   Carriers.     Should   any   carrier   be   insol- 
vent, uncollectible  amount  due  from  it  shall  be  assumed  by 
other  carriers  handling  shipment. 

(a)  If  full  amount  is  due  from  insolvent  carrier  it 
shall  be  prorated  between  all  other  carriers  handling 
shipment  on  revenue  basis. 

(b)  Where  two  or  more  carriers  are  liable,  insol- 
vent  carrier's   proportion   shall   be   prorated   between 
them,  using  their  proportions  of  claim  as  factors. 

(c)  Provided  each  participating  carrier   shall   fur- 


R.  A.  O.  A.  OVERCHARGE  CLAIM  RULES  31 

nish  by  its  proper  officer  a  certified  statement  of  ac- 
count with  insolvent  carrier  showing  no  credit  avail- 
able for  offset. 

47.  Disposition  of  Undercharges   Discovered.     All  un- 
dercharges  occurring   through    errors   in    the   original    di- 
visions of  revenue  which  are  discovered  in  handling  over- 
charge claims  shall  be  credited  to  the  carriers  to  which 
they    belong    in    the    final    apportionment;    provided    the 
amount  is  in  excess  of  the  debit  minimum  (Rule  No.  42). 

STATEMENTS  OF  AMOUNTS  DUE  AND  PAYABLE 
BY  DRAFT 

48.  Statements  of  Amounts  Due.     On  or  before  the  10th 
of  each  month  (or  weekly  by  special  agreement,  if  neces- 
sary to  avoid  a   large  accumulation),   the  paying  carrier 
•should  render  a  statement  on  R.  A.  O.  A.  form  of  amounts 
due   from   each    debtor   carrier   writh  claim    papers,    when 
necessary,  and  as  provided  in   Rule   38,  and   distribution 
statements,  to  the  proper  officers  by  prepaid  express,  postal 
mail  or  messenger.     Draft  may  be  made  by  the  creditor 
carrier  on  or  after  the  10th  of  the  succeeding  month  for 
totals  of  statements,  or,  on  agreement  between  carriers  in 
interest,  drafts  may  be  made  for  the  balances,  which  drafts 
shall  be  paid  by  the  debtor  carrier  upon  presentation. 

49.  Return  of  Claim  Papers  to  Paying  Carrier  for  File. 
When  claim  papers  are  forwarded  to  another  carrier  with 
bill  for  its  authorized  proportion  or  as  provided  in  Rule  38, 
they  shall  be  returned  to  the  settling  carrier  as  promptly 
as  possible,  and  in  any  event  within  one  year  from  date  of 
rendition  of  bill  or  date  of  abstract  of  distribution.    Return 
of  the  papers  shall  be  made  to  the  officer  in  charge  of  claims 
of  the  paying  carrier  unless  instructions  to  the  contrary 
are  attached  to  the  papers. 

Any  penalty  incurred  by  the  paying  carrier  for  failure 
to  have  in  its  file  papers  supporting  a  claim  after  the  time 
specified  shall  be  with  the  carrier  which  has  failed  to  return 
such  papers  to  the  paying  carrier,  as  provided  in  this  rule. 


32  R.  A.  O.  A.  OVERCHARGE  CLAIM  RULES 

This   rule   will    not  apply    to    claims    charged    out    under

50.     Relief  of  Charges  on  Short  Freight. 

(a)  When  freight  checks  short  at  junction  point,  inter- 
mediate point,  or   destination,   the   carrier   delivering   the 
waybill  on  which  freight  is  short  shall,  on  demand,  refund 
the  full  amount  of  revenue  that  accrued  up   to  junction 
point,  if  freight  does  not  reach   destination   within   sixty 
days.     No  investigation  further  than  the  development  of 
the  above  record  shall  be  necessary. 

(b)  When  both  the  original  waybill  and  the  shipment 
are  short  at  destination  (the  destination  carrier  having  re- 
ported the  waybill  as  result  of  tracing  by  the  billing  car- 
rier), and  the  shipment  fails  to  reach  destination  within 
sixty  days,  no  further  investigation  is  necessary,  but  desti- 
nation carrier  may  arbitrarily  charge  its  next  connection 
the  total  amount  of  charge  up  to  junction  point,  as  pro- 
vided in  paragraph  (a)  of  this  rule,  and  each  intermediate 
carrier  may  charge  its  next  connection  in  a  like  manner. 

(c)  When  the  destination  of  short  freight  is  a  station 
on  the  line  of  two  or  more  carriers,  the  agent  of  the  carrier 
via  which  the  shipment  is  routed,  which  holds  the  waybill, 
shall  advise  the  agent  of  the  other  carriers  of  the  shortage, 
giving  a  description  of  the  freight.    The  agents  should  care- 
fully examine  their  records  and  warehouses,  and  if  located, 
the  freight  or  charges  collected,  as  the  case  may  be,  shall 
be  promptly  surrendered  to  the  carrier  holding  the  waybill. 
Provided,  however,  that  when  a  carrier  transports  a  single 
shipment  of  less  than  carload  astray  freight,  weighing  five 
thousand  pounds  or  more,  or  a  car  containing  LCL  astray 
freight,  weighing  five  thousand  pounds  or  more,  the  car- 
rier holding  the  waybills  shall  turn  them  over  to  the  car- 
rier performing  the  service. 

(d)  In   case   of   shortage  from   a  package   the   freight 
charges  assessed  on  freight  short  shall  be  pro-rated   be- 
tween interested  carriers  on  basis  of  revenue  from  point 
where  shipment  was  last  checked  in  full  and  in  good  order, 
to  point  where  shortage  was  discovered. 


R.  A.  O.  A.  OVERCHARGE  CLAIM  RULES  33 

(e)  In  case  of  shortage  between  depots  developed  at  a 
junction  point  under  loading  seals  by  the  check  of  the  re- 
ceiving carrier,  of  freight  checked  and  loaded  in  good  order 
by  the  delivering  carrier,  the  freight  charges  accruing  on 
such  shipment  shall  be  divided  sixty  (60)  per  cent  to  the 
delivering  carrier  and  forty  (40)  per  cent  to  the  receiving 
carrier ;  provided,  that  if  delivering  carrier  does  not  furnish 
receiving   carrier   waybill    or    transfer  by   which  to    make 
check  when  unloaded,  or  when  checked  in  car,  receiving 
carrier  shall  not  be  liable. 

(f)  This  rule  is  to  apply  to  either  junction  or  audit 
office  settlements  and  on  all  unsettled  claims  (d-13)  ;  sub- 
ject, however,  to  a  minimum  charge  of  one  dollar  ($1.00). 
When  two  or  more  carriers  are  involved,  the  principle  of 
distribution  outlined  in  Rule  42  shall  govern. 

LOADED  CARS  HANDLED  AS  EMPTY 

51.  Loaded  Cars  Handled  as  Empty.     When  a  carrier 
delivers  to  another  carrier  a  car  accompanied  by  an  empty 
car  ticket,  running  slip,  or  card  waybill,   or  with   advice 
that  the  car  is  empty,  the  receiving  carrier  and  subsequent 
carriers  are  warranted  in  handling  the  car  as  an  empty. 
Carrier  handling  loaded  car  as  an  empty  is  entitled  to  rev- 
enue on  one-way  haul.    See  Rule  19. 

OBTAINING  INFORMATION  IN  CONNECTION 
WITH  RATES 

52.  Obtaining  Information   in  Connection  with   Rates. 

When,  in  investigating  overcharge  claims,  it  is  necessary 
to  obtain  rates  from  other  carriers  communications  shall, 
in  all  cases,  be  addressed  to  the  accounting  officer  handling 
overcharge  claims,  who  shall  be  responsible  for  the  furnish-

ther investigation,  and  one  rebuttal  only,  and  the  right  to 
see  all  rebuttals  subsequently  attached,  but  this  rule  shall

or  defend.

cannot  be  so  reached  by  the  committee,  then  recourse  shall 
be  had  to  the  Appeal  Committee  through  the  Secretary,  in 
accordance  with  Rule  202,  the  appeal  fee  to  be  paid  out  of 
the  general  fund. 

132.  Arbitration  Fee,   How  Apportioned.     The  charge 
for  arbitration  shall  be  borne  by   the  carrier  or  carriers 
against  which  the  decision  is  given,  and  shall  be  appor- 
tioned by  the  Arbitration  Committee  (or  Appeal  Commit- 
tee in  case  of  appeal)  at  time  decision  is  rendered,  except 
that  such  carriers  as  have  agreed  in  their  brief  to  assume 
an  amount  equal  to  or  in  excess  of  that  assessed  them  by 
the  arbitrators,  shall  be  exempt  from  participation  in  the 
fee.    The  receipt  of  the  treasurer  attached  to  the  papers  shall 
be  deemed  a  sufficient  voucher  for  the  collection  of  such 
amount. 

133.  When  Traffic  or  Operating  Agreements  Involved. 
When  submitting  claims  involving  legitimate  traffic  or  op- 
erating agreements,  such  agreements  shall  be  quoted  in  the 
arguments  presented  and  acknowledged  or  repudiated  by 
the  other  carriers  interested  therein,  and  failure  to  repudi- 
ate shall  be  considered  an -acknowledgment.    If  said  agree- 
ments are  of  such  a  nature  that  it  is  deemed  improper  or 
inadvisable  by  the  parties  to  make  them  known  to  the  com- 
mittee, the  claim  must  not  be  sent  to  the  committee,  but 
should  be  referred  to  and  settled  by  the  officers  of  the  car- 
riers parties  to  such  agreements,  unless  all  parties  consent 
to  waive  said  agreements  and  allow  the  claim  to  be  arbi- 
trated under  the  rules  of  the  Association,  which  waiver 
shall  be  duly  recorded  in  the  argument  of  each  carrier. 


44  R.  A.  0.  A.  OVERCHARGE  CLAIM  RULES 

134.  Refusal  to  Abide  by  Award.     It  shall  be  the  duty 
of  the  members  to  report  to  the  President  of  the  Associa- 
tion the  refusal  of  any  member  to  abide  by  the  awards  of 
the  Arbitration  Committees,  or  to  take  an  appeal,  as  pro- 
vided for  in  Rule  202. 

135.  When   Non-Member   Interested.     In   cases   where 
any  members  have  a  dispute  with  a  non-member  carrier, 
and  the  member  carrier  desires  to  have  it  arbitrated,  the 
Arbitration  Committee  shall  act  on  the  claim ;  provided 
that  the  member  carrier  can  and  does  obtain,  over  the  per- 
sonal official  signature  of  the  proper  officer  of  the  non-mem- 
ber carrier,  his  consent  to  accept  the  Arbitration  Commit- 
tee as  the  arbitrators,  and  that  he  will  comply  with  the 
requirements  and  rules  and  abide  by  and  fully  comply  with 
the  decision-  of  a  majority  of  the  committee. 

136.  When  Non-Member  Declines  to  Arbitrate.     If  the 
non-member  carrier  declines  to  arbitrate,  this  will  not  pro- 
hibit arbitration  on  the  claim  as  between  the  member  car- 
riers, and  such  award  as  may  be  made  against  a  non-mem- 
ber carrier  shall  be  assumed  by  the  paying  carrier  when 
non-member  carrier  is  alone  liable.     When  liability  rests 
jointly  between  member  carrier  or  carriers  and  non-mem- 
ber carrier,  the  amount  assessed  against  non-member  car- 
rier shall  be  assumed  by  member  carrier  if  but  one  mem- 
ber carrier.    If  more  than  one,  the  amount  of  claim  shall  be 
assessed  against  member  carriers  held  liable  on  basis  of 
the  award. 

(a)  Non-Member  Right  of  Appeal  After  Agreeing  to 
Arbitrate.  Non-member  carriers  shall  have  right  of  ap- 
peal from  decision  of  the  Arbitration  Committee,  provided 
they  have  agreed  to  abide  by  rules  of  this  Association,  but 
they  shall  not  be  allowed  any  initiative  arbitration  privi- 
leges. A  member  not  directly  interested  cannot  submit 
claim  for  arbitration  on  account  of  a  non-member  carrier. 

APPEAL  COMMITTEE 

201.  Appeal  Committee  to  Consider  on  Same  Basis. 
The  Appeal  Committee  shall  be  required  to  consider  claims 


R.  A.  O.  A.  OVERCHARGE  CLAIM  RULES  45 

which  are  referred  to  them  on  the  same  basis  as  that  on 
which  originally  presented  to  the  Arbitration  Committee. 

202.  Procedure  for  Appeal.     Should  any  carrier  be  dis- 
satisfied with  the  decision  of  the  Arbitration  Committee,  an 
appeal  may  be  taken  to  the  Appeal  Committee,  provided 
notification  to  Secretary,  stating  date  papers  first  reached 
the  appealing  carrier  with  decision  of  the  Arbitration  Com- 
mittee, with  copy  or  copies  to  carriers  interested,  be  sent 
within  thirty  days  after  receipt  of  papers  with  award. 

A  deposit  of  $15.00  must  accompany  notification  to  the 
Secretary,  and  the  Secretary's  acknowledgment  of  the 
$15.00  shall  be  filed  in  the  claim  papers  and  shall  be  proof 
to  all  concerned  that  the  claim  is  duly  under  appeal.  In 
the  event  a  carrier  which  has  filed  with  the  Secretary  a 
notice  of  appeal,  decides  later  to  withdraw  such  appeal,  it 
shall  send  carbon  copy  of  notice  of  withdrawal  to  all  in- 
terested carriers,  and  any  other  interested  carrier  will  not 
then  be  debarred  from  appealing  the  case  account  of  the 
thirty  (30)  days'  time  limit  having  expired.  Such  other 
appeal  must  be  made  within  thirty  (30)  days  after  again 
receiving  papers. 

203.  Statements    to    Appeal    Committee.     The    carrier 
asking  appeal  shall  have  thirty  days  after  such  notice  to 
Secretary  in  which  to  prepare  its  argument,  over  the  per- 
sonal signature  of  the  officer  in  charge  of  the  claim  office, 
and  the  papers  shall  then  be  referred  with  argument  by 
the  appealing  carrier  to  the  carrier  nearest  to  it  in  the  di- 
rection of  destination.     Each  interested  carrier  shall  have 
the  papers  and  the  right  to  make,  within  thirty  days,  one 
argument  to  the  Appeal  Committee,  which  must  be  done 
over  the  personal   signature   of   the   officer  in   charge   of 
claims.    No  additional  investigation  shall  be  made  by  any 
carrier  and  no  new  facts  or  evidence  shall  be  presented ; 
provided,  however,  that  any  carrier  may  cite  in  its  argu- 
ment  any   previous   decisions   of   the   Appeal    Committee. 
When  all  carriers  interested  have  so  argued  their  case,  or 
refused  to  do  so  over  the  personal  signature  of  the  officer 


46  R.  A.  O.  A.  OVERCHARGE  CLAIM  RULES 

in  charge  of  claims,  the  papers  shall  be  returned  by  the  last 
carrier,  through  interested  carriers,  to  the  carrier  making 
appeal,  fifteen  days'  time  being  allowed  each  carrier  within 
which  to  so  return  the  papers  to  the  next  interested  carrier. 

When  papers  reach  the  appealing  carrier  they  shall  be 
forwarded  within  fifteen  days  to  the  Secretary,  unless  such 
carrier  desires  to  withdraw  its  appeal  and  comply  with  the 
decision  of  the  Arbitration  Committee.  When  any  carrier 
fails  to  attach  its  argument  or  refusal  and  forward  papers 
within  thirty  days,  or  to  return  the  papefs  to  next  inter- 
ested carrier  writhin  fifteen  days  as  provided  in  this  section, 
or  when  any  carrier  loses  claim  papers  submitted  to  it  un- 
der this  section  the  procedure  and  penalty  set  forth  in  Rule 
130  shall  apply.  The  provisions  of  Rules  131  and  132  shall 
also  apply  to  claims  submitted  for  appeal.  No  direct  com- 
munication, oral,  wrritten,  or  printed,  shall  be  allowed  be- 
tween any  member  interested  in  an  arbitration  before,  dur- 
ing or  after  such  arbitration,  and  any  member  of  the  Arbi- 
tration or  Appeal  Committees  in  connection  with  such  arbi- 
tration, save  and  except  as  herein  made  and  provided.  Any 
necessary  communication  for  a  proper  purpose  shall  be 
made  through  the  Secretary,  and  when  he  is  in  doubt  as  to 
the  propriety  thereof,  he  shall  refer  the  matter  to  the  Presi- 
dent and  be  guided  by  his  decision. 

204.  Procedure  of  Committee.  The  Secretary,  after 
ascertaining  that  the  foregoing  requirements  have  been 
complied  with  (as  to  which  he  shall  be  the  judge)  shall 
promptly  transmit  papers  to  a  member  of  the  Appeal  Com- 
mittee other  than  the  chairman.  The  member  to  whom 
first  sent  shall  attach  his  award,  after  which  papers  shall 
be  passed  in  convenient  order  to  the  other  member  of  the 
Appeal  Committee  for  like  attention ;  the  chairman  to  at- 
tach his  award  last. 

It  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  chairman  to  see  that  a  major- 
ity award  has  been  given,  which  shall  be  .final,  after  which 
the  papers  shall  be  sent  to  the  Secretary,  who  shall  return 
them  to  the  carrier  originally  submitting  them  for  arbi- 
tration. 


R.  A.  O.  A.  OVERCHARGE  CLAIM  RULES  47 

205.  Disposition  of  Appeal  Fee.     If  the  Appeal  Commit- 
tee affirm  the  decision  of  the  Arbitration  Committee,  the 
deposit  of  $15.00  shall  be  forfeited  and  credited  to  the  gen- 
eral fund  of  the  Association.     If  the  Appeal  Committee  do 
not  affirm  the  decision  of  Arbitration  Committee,  the  $15.00 
deposited   shall   be   credited,   to   the  general   fund   of   the 
Association,  and  this  amount,  together  with  the  arbitration 
fee   of   $10.00   shall  be   charged  to  the   carrier  or   carriers 
against  which  the  decision  is  rendered,  provided  that  if  the 
claim  is  appealed  by  other  than  the  paying  carrier,  that  such 
of  the  appeal  fee  as  is  not  charged  against  the  appealing 
carrier  may  be  charged  by  the  appealing  carrier  to  the  pay- 
ing carrier.    Upon  receipt  of  papers  with  the  Appeal  Com- 
mittee's award,  the  paying  carrier  may,  in  conformity  with 
such  award  and  in  accordance  with  Rule  No.  42  charge  by 
arbitrary  debit,  regardless  of  the  amount,  such  carrier  or 
carriers  as  have  been  penalized,  and  who  accept  arbitrary 
debits  under  the  plan  outlined  in  Rule  No.  42.    The  carrier 
or  carriers  penalized  who  do  not  accept  arbitrary  debits

ing carrier  for  file.

carriers  by  express  or  registered  postal  mail.  When  claim 
papers  are  lost  after  decision  has  been  rendered  and  dili- 
gent search  fails  to  find  them,  carrier  or  carriers  decided 
against  may  be  debited  with  their  proportion  on  basis  of 
Appeal  Committee  award  without  duplication  of  papers  fur- 
ther than  a  copy  of  the  award. 

206.  Compensation  of  Committee.     At  the  end  of  the 
year  five  dollars  ($5.00)  for  each  claim  reviewed  by  them 
during  their  official  year  shall  be  paid  out  of  the  general 
fund  of  the  Association  to  each  member  of  the  Appeal  Com- 
mittee, provided  that  five  dollars  each  on  such  claims  as 
shall  have  been  reveiwed  by  substituted  members  of  the 
Appeal  Committee  shall  be  paid  to  such  substitutes. 


48  R.  A.  O.  A.  OVERCHARGE  CLAIM  RULES 

207.  Carbon  Copies  to  Secretary.     Each  member  of  the 
Appeal  Committee  shall  send  to  the  Secretary  a  carbon 
copy  of  his  letter  of  transmittal  to  the  next  member  of  the 
committee. 

208.  Appeal  Committee  to  Complete  Work.     The  work 
of  the  Appeal  Committee  shall  be  completed  by  them  so 
far  as  claims  before  them  are  concerned  and  their  unfin- 
ished labors  shall  not  be  turned  over  to  the  new  committee

Association,  as  to  the  proper  interpretation,  meaning,  or 
effect,  of  any  rule  of  this  Association,  any  party  interested 
may  submit  question  or  dispute  to  the  Appeal  Committee 
for  consideration  and  determination.     Each  party,  in  pre- 
senting his  contention,  shall  be  governed  by  the  rules  and 
provisions  applicable  to  the  submission  of  claims  to  the 
Appeal  Committee  for  decision. 

210.  Previous  Decisions  as  Authority.     In  quoting  pre- 
vious  decisions   of   Arbitration    and   Appeal    Committees, 
only  such  decisions  and  awards  as  have  been  made  by  the
